Omeprazole Mups®: an Advanced Formulation Offering Flexibility and Predictability for Self Medication SUPPLEMENT SelfCare 2011;2(S1):1-14 The journal of consumer-led health OMEPRAZOLE MUPS®: AN ADVANCED FORMULATION OFFERING FLEXIBILITY AND PREDICTABILITY FOR SELF MEDICATION JÉRÔME AUBERT*, CHRIS J. J. MULDER†, KARSTEN SCHRÖR**, STEPHAN R. VAVRICKA†† *Head, Formulation Development, Bayer Santé Familiale S.A.S., France †VU University Medical Center, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Amsterdam, Netherlands **Direktor em., Institut für Pharmakologie und Klinische Pharmakologie, Heinrich-Heine Universität, Düsseldorf, Germany ††Head, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Stadtspital Triemli, Zurich, Switzerland ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: The MUPS®* tablet formulation of omeprazole magnesium is now in widespread use as a consumer medicine in Europe and the United States (US). On December 8th 2010 a panel of experts was assembled in Zurich to review the accumulated evidence on omeprazole MUPS® and the contribution of the pharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic features of this formulation to clinical efficacy in the treatment of symptomatic reflux disease. FORMULATION: The MUPS® tablet is a patented formulation of omeprazole designed to optimise delivery of omeprazole to the site of its absorption in the small intestine. In particular the gastro-resistant properties of the multiple layered micropellets are important to protect the acid-labile omeprazole from gastric juice. Many generic omeprazole formulations are now available for consumer purchase in some European markets. Dissolution studies with a variety of omeprazole formulations confirm substantial differences in speed and degree of omeprazole release under differing pH conditions designed to mimic gastric passage and duodenal delivery. Omeprazole formulations available for consumers to purchase cannot be considered interchangeable with regard to pharmaceutical properties. PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS: Omeprazole is an inactive prodrug which requires nonenzymatic, proton-catalyzed conversion to an active sulphenamide intermediate in the secretory cannaliculi of the parietal cell, this then binds to and inactivates the H+K+-ATPase ‘proton pump’. Omeprazole MUPS® tablets are bioequivalent to the originally marketed omeprazole capsules and produce similar pharmacodynamic effects on gastric secretion in direct comparison studies. In comparison to capsules, however, bioavailability from the MUPS® tablet is somewhat faster in the fed state. Bioavailability of omeprazole increases between day 1 and day 6 of dosing and this is reflected in an increased pharmacodynamic effect (median gastric pH) compared to pantoprazole 40mg at day 6 but an equivalent effect on day 1. HEARTBURN STUDIES IN CONSUMERS: Heartburn is very common in the general population and 20% of sufferers have symptoms more often than weekly. Endoscopy is not warranted in these individuals unless ‘alarm’ symptoms (e.g. anaemia, dysphagia, weight loss) are present. In surveys, frequent sufferers want complete and long lasting relief from heartburn. Large clinical studies with the MUPS® formulation in the US confirm that high proportions of both day and night time periods are reported as free of heartburn on regular dosing for 14 days with omeprazole MUPS® 20mg and 10mg. A naturalistic study of consumer compliance with US label instructions for omeprazole MUPS® showed that self-selection for treatment *MUPS® is a registered trademark of the AstraZeneca group of companies. The MUPS® tablet is protected by patent property owned by the AstraZeneca group of companies and distributed under licence by Bayer Consumer Care. ©SELFCARE MAY 2011 Accepted for publication March 2011 S1 OMEPRAZOLE MUPS®: AN ADVANCED FORMULATION FOR SELF MEDICATION was appropriate in the great majority of participants and very few exceeded the mandated 14 days of treatment without medical advice. PRESCRIPTION EXPERIENCE WITH MUPS® AND GENERIC OMEPRAZOLE: In the Netherlands, a large study comparing omeprazole MUPS® 20mg, lansoprazole 30mg and pantoprazole 40mg in patients with symptomatic grade I-IV reflux oesophagitis confirmed similar high levels of patient satisfaction with all drugs after 4 and 8 weeks. The popularity of PPIs for acid related conditions in the Netherlands, as elsewhere, has led to increasing levels of usage and an associated rise in costs. Since the loss of patent protection in 2004, more than 50 generic versions of omeprazole have been launched in the Netherlands. Studies of omeprazole release characteristics from examples of these preparations show variable rates of drug delivery and some evidence that ‘dose dumping’ may occur and potentially affect efficacy. The absorption, distribution and activation of omeprazole in functioning proton pumps is a complex series of processes that may not be adequately represented by narrowly defined bioequivalence determined on pharmacokinetic grounds. The suggestion that generic formulations may exhibit pharmacodynamic and clinical differences compared to the originator drug, is lent some indirect support by the results of a survey of 5,254 users of generic omeprazole in the Netherlands. This found that around 20% of users required substitution of originator omeprazole or another PPI on grounds of unsatisfactory response to generic omeprazole treatment. SUMMARY: The omeprazole MUPS® formulation is a carefully designed galenic form which optimises delivery of the drug to the site of activation and pharmacodynamic action, particularly in the fed state. The small easily swallowed tablet can also be dispersed in water. This formulation has been well characterised in pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and clinical studies. In particular omeprazole MUPS® has been shown to produce substantial freedom from heartburn in a frequently suffering population during 14 days of use. When recommending a PPI for appropriate consumers, health care professionals should consider this level of evidence and be aware that not all omeprazole formulations can be considered as interchangeable in clinical use. Key words: Omeprazole, MUPS®, Gastro-resistant formulation, Bioequivalence. FEATURES OF THE MUPS® FORMULATION - Jérôme Aubert, Pharm D Head, Formulation Development, Bayer Santé Familiale S.A.S., France Omeprazole is a pro-drug that accumulates in the acid space of the parietal cell where it is transformed to the active state. However the drug has several characteristics which determine its access to this site of action. Omeprazole is a weak base which is stable at neutral pH but decomposes rapidly in an acidic environment. Therefore, in order for it to reach the small intestine where it is absorbed, it must be protected from gastric fluid when administered orally. These properties pose challenges for drug formulators seeking to provide optimal delivery of the drug. The MUPS® tablet formulation of omeprazole employs patented technology in a delivery system which disperses rapidly in the stomach to release about 1,000 small (0.5mm) individually enteric coated units or ‘micropellets’ of omeprazole as the magnesium salt. These pellets are designed to dissolve in the high pH of the small intestine to release omeprazole for absorption. ©SELFCARE MAY 2011 Accepted for publication March 2011 S2 OMEPRAZOLE MUPS®: AN ADVANCED FORMULATION FOR SELF MEDICATION The manufacture of MUPS® tablets has multiple steps. First omeprazole magnesium is micronized before suspension and layering onto sugar microspheres (0.250-0.355mm). These pellets are then sub-coated to separate the omeprazole from the enteric coating which is applied next. The pellets are then given a final protective over-coating before being mixed with tabletting excipients and compressed into tablets which themselves are film-coated. Thus each MUPS® pellet has a 4 layer ‘onion’ structure and each tablet is comprised of multiple pellets which are apparent if the tablet is broken (figure 1). FIGURE 1: PELLET STRUCTURE APPARENT IN BROKEN MUPS® TABLETS. In vitro dissolution testing of the tablets confirms the USP specifications required to meet the key formulation characteristic of gastro-resistance. In the first or ‘gastric phase’, dissolution of the tablets in acid pH 1 (HCl 0.1 M) stirred for 2 hours (100 rpm paddle speed) is measured, and not less than 90% of the omeprazole content should remain intact in the pellets. Subsequently in the ‘small intestine’ or drug release phase, dissolution at pH 6.8 is measured and after 45 minutes not less than 75% of the stated omeprazole content should be released. Changes in the quantity of enteric coating and protective overcoating can be shown to have an effect on gastric resistance as can tablet hardness which varies with the punch force used to produce the tablets. Since the expiry of the patent on omeprazole, numerous generic copies have been marketed. The introduction of omeprazole as a non-prescription or ‘over the counter’ (OTC) medicine in some countries has also led to an explosion in the availability of alternative generic versions. For example in Germany there are more than 20 ‘OTC’ formulations of omeprazole although only a few of these are tablets (one of which is the Bayer MUPS® product) with the majority being capsule formulations. The pharmaceutical quality and properties of these generic products may vary and analytical techniques to examine them (e.g. the dissolution testing described above) may not be very discriminative. A study of the pharmaceutical quality of 7 local omeprazole capsule brands in Egypt was assessed relative to the proprietary product (Losec®)1. All brands

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Omeprazole is a potent proton pump inhibitor with powerful inhibition of secretion of gastric juice. Oral site-specific drug delivery systems have recently attracted a great interest for the local treatment of bowel disease and for improving systemic absorption of drugs which are unstable in the stomach. However, microenvironment in the gastrointestinal tract and varying absorption mechanisms cause hindrance for the formulation and optimization of oral drug delivery. The ob- jective of the study was to develop and optimize enteric coating process for omeprazole tablets. Different batches of core tablets were sub coated, one set sub coated with opadry and another with a mixture of light magnesium oxide, magnesium stearate and absolute alcohol omeprazole mag- nesium. Seal coating was applied by using opadry to achieve certain weight gain and to protect omeprazole from acidic coating polymers.

    IAJPS 2015, Volume2 (5), 955-960 Y. Naneen Kumar & Dr. J. Srikanth ISSN 2349-7750 ISSN 2349-7750 INDO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES Available online at: http://www.iajps.com Research Article FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT OF CONTROLLED RELEASE FORMULATION OF ESOMEPRAZOLE SODIUM TABLETS Y. Naveen Kumar*1, Dr. J. Sreekanth2 1. Scientific Officer, Drugs Control Dept. Hyderabad. 2. Sr.GM, R&D, MSN Laboratories Pvt Ltd. Hyderabad Abstract: The main aim of this work is Esomeprazole sodium is formulated as controlled release tablets to provide desired effect at certain time in maintained drug concentration without any unwanted effect with patient compliance also to improve it bioavailability by decreasing its expose to gastric acid. A controlled release dosage form is designed to release the drug from the dosage form at a time other than promptly after administration. UV Spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of Esomeprazole in pharmaceutical formulations. Then the tablets were prepared by dry granulation method rather than direct compression because of cohesive property of the drug. Optimized core tablet then subjected for enteric coating by selected base coat polymer cellulose derivative for preventing core tablet from moisture. The coated formulations were compared with marketed sample (ESOZ) for optimization. Dissolution results of tablets with enteric coating have shown release of Esomeprazole in simulated gastrointestinal fluid pH 1.2, but most of the drug released in pH 6.8 Phosphate buffer. At the end it was found that prepared formulation gave satisfactory results compared with marketed sample dissolution profile. Hence prepared formulation by-pass the degradation of Esomeprazole by enteric coating approach and can be used as single unit dosage for the treatment of acid- related diseases.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Modified release tablets are coated or uncoated tablets containing auxiliary substances or prepared by procedures that separately or together, are designed to modify the rate or the place at which the active ingredient is released. Modified release tablets include, 1) Enteric coated tablet 2) Prolonged release tablet 3) Sustained release tablet 4) Extended release tablet 5) Delayed release tablet COATING OF PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORMS Any introduction to tablet coating must be prefaced by an important question –why to coat tablets? Since in many instances, the coating is being applied to dosage forms that already are functionally complete. In attempting to answer this question, if one examines the market, it will become apparent that a significant proportion of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms are coated. The reasons for this range of aesthetic to a desired control bio available drug are, Protecting the drug from its surrounding environment (particularly air, moisture and light) with a view to improve stability. Modifying drug release, as in enteric coated, repeat action and sustained release products. Reducing the risk of interaction between incompatible components. Masking unpleasant taste and odor. Increasing the ease of administration. Basically there are five major techniques for applying coatings to pharmaceutical solid dosage forms: 1. Sugar coating 2. Film coating 3. Enteric coating 4. Fluid bed or suspension coating 5. Compression coating Present formulation involves seal coating of the tablet dosage form (drug being moisture sensitive) and then enteric coating the same as it is to be protected in the stomach from degradation, which makes the formulation delayed release. Hence the detailed explanation is given on film- coating and enteric- coating methods.

Sivakumar Department of Pharmaceutics, Nandha College of Pharmacy, Erode-52, TamilNadu,India. *Corres.author: [email protected] Abstract: When given orally to the patients, non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) can provoke mild to severe gastric irritation. Reduced gastrointestinal irritations caused by NSAIDS can be achieved by using enteric beads which are preferable to coated tablets or capsules. Enteric coated beads are prepared by coacervation technique. The method relies on the precipitation of the enteric polymer cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), when their solutions in an aqueous alkaline media are dropped into an acidic environment. Studies were carried out to characterize the formulation such as angle of repose, drug entrapment, encapsulation efficiency and in-vitro release studies. In-vitro release studies showed that the enteric coated beads are suitable for further pharmaceutical manipulation (e.g. capsule filling). In-vitro release studies showed that drug release followed first order kinetics. Keywords: Non steroidal anti inflammatory drug, Naproxen, CAP, enteric beads. Introduction continuous use in the treatment of pain or in the treatment of acute or chronic inflammatory states. Oral drug delivery is the most desirable and However, these drugs generally have a higher preferred method of administrating therapeutic potential for adverse side effects at the upper agents for their systemic effects.

  • Formulation and Evaluation of Enteric Coated Aspirin Capsules
    Formulation and Evaluation of Enteric Coated Aspirin Capsules 1 Enteric polymer coatings create a protective gastro- resistant barrier that prevents oral medication from dissolving or disintegrating in the stomach before it reaches the small intestine. Although enteric polymer coatings long have been used in tablet formulations for controlled drug delivery systems, little research has been conducted to evaluate coatings for capsule drug formulations. Enteric coating may be necessary to either protect acid-sensitive Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) from gastric conditions, or to create a controlled release drug delivery system. Some APIs degrade in low pH conditions, and typically would be destroyed in the harsh environment in the stomach. This creates a need to protect sensitive APIs used in oral dosage forms. Additionally, enteric coatings can be formulated specifically to dissolve at higher pH conditions than what exists in the stomach, which is key for targeted drug delivery. The stomach, small intestine and large intestine each have very constant and specific physiological pH conditions. As an oral solid dose drug moves through the digestive system, its solubility can change based upon pH conditions it is exposed to, and therefore its solubility changes based on location. 2 3 Optimizing release based on location allows scientists to design drugs targeted to release, for example, only at the large intestine. Often, however, the solubility of an API is not designed specifically for a desired location and the drug will release prior to reaching the optimal location for dosing. Thus, enteric coatings can allow formulators to control the characteristics of a drug beyond what the API itself allows.

Pantoprazole is not stable under acidic condition. Pellets are likely to be affected by gastric emptying due to their small size. MUPS (multi-unit pellet system) is the first PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) to be made available as an orally disintegrating tablet. Delayed release products are typically enteric coating or colon target system. Eudragit polymer is used as an enteric coating film former for solid dosage forms. Methodology: Eudragit L 30 D 55 is used as an enteric coating film former for solid dosage forms. Eudragit L 100-55 is an alternative to Eudragit L 30 D-55. It is commercially available as a redispersible powder. Eudragit L 100-55 (prepared by spray-drying Eudragit L 30 D-55) is a white, free-flowing powder that is redispersible in water to form latex that has properties similar to those of Eudragit L 30 D-55.

E-mail: [email protected]. ABSTRACT The current study is an endeavor to formulate and assess hindered release enteric coated tablets of Lansoprazole by means of dissimilar enteric coated polymers like Eudragit L30D55, Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose phthalate and Cellulose acetate phthalate. Tablets can be prepared by using approved excipients, which were proved compatible with the active ingredient by IR studies. Core tablets were primed by wet granulation and, gauged for physical parameters like hardness, friability, thickness, and disintegration time. Core tablets were sub-coated expending Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose with buildup of 3%w/w and enteric coating with either of polymers with an average weight buildup of 5% & 8% w/w. The disintegration of enteric coated tablets i.e. formulations thru 5% weight buildup (F5a to F5c) in 0.1N HCl might not permit the test. Though, formulations with 8% weight accumulation (F5d to F5f) showed no disintegration in 0.1N HCl for a period of 2hrs. Dissolution of enteric coated tablets (F5d to F5f) in 0.1N HCl and monitored by pH6.8 phosphate buffer was adequate. Amongst the polymers verified, Eudragit L30D55 with 8% (F5d) weight buildup exhibited least release in 0.1N HCl and the comprehensive release in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer.

  • Enteric Coating of Ibuprofen Tablets (200 Mg) Using an Aqueous Dispersion System
    Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences vol. 46, n. 1, jan./mar., 2010 Article Enteric coating of ibuprofen tablets (200 mg) using an aqueous dispersion system Rabia Bushra1,*, Muhammad Harris Shoaib2, Nousheen Aslam1, Zafar Alam Mehmood3, Durriya Hashmat2 1Ziauddin College of Pharmacy, Ziauddin University, Karachi, 2Department of Pharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Karachi, 3Colorcon Asia Pacific Ibuprofen is a propionic acid derivative that belongs to the class NSAIDs. Major adverse reactions associated with Ibuprofen are related to GIT and include peptic and mucosal ulcers, dyspepsia, severe gastric pain and bleeding, that results in excessive treatment failure. The goal of this study was to develop enteric coated ibuprofen tablets in order to avoid gastric mucosal irritation, diffusion of drug across mucosal lining and to let active ingredient be absorbed easily in small intestine. The formulation was developed and manufactured through the direct compression process, the simplest, easiest and most economical method of manufacturing. Enteric coating was done using an Opadry white subcoating and an aqueous coating dispersion of Acryl-Eze. Enteric coated formulation was subjected to disintegration and dissolution tests by placing in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid for 2 h and then 1 h in phosphate buffer with a pH of 6.8. About 0.04% of drug was released in the acidic phase and 99.05% in the basic medium. These results reflect that ibuprofen can be successfully enteric coated in order to prevent its release in the stomach and facilitate rapid release of the drug in the duodenum, due to the presence of superdisintegrant. Formulating this enteric coated tablets could increase patient compliance by decreasing adverse drug reactions (ADRS) associated with Ibuprofen therapy.
